Cottage Extension and Refurbishment in Ferring

KennyFoxwell — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:07:32 +0000

Here are before and after photos of a small cottage in Ferring which was purchased in a very poor state by our client with a view to extending and refurbishing it in order to let as a holiday cottage. We advised the client on what would be feasible and practical, and on this basis we designed the extension and altrations, obtained a Lawful Development Certificate, gained approval of the works under the Building Regulations and got the project underway. We produced a schedule of works, obtained and vetted tenders from selected building contractors, and instructed the chosen building contractor to commence. We then continued to manage the project on behalf of the client all the way up to completion and hand-over of the keys. The client has been very happy with the result and the cottage has been a great success.

Extension and Refurbishment in Amberley

Here are before and after photos of a house in Amberley, West Sussex where planning permission was obtained by another Architect for major extension and refurbishment works, and we were asked to develop this design in further detail to facilitate approval under the Building Regulations, and to obtain detailed tenders for the building work. This project brought with it many challenges, mainly because the house is on the edge of a steep hill – some of the extension was suspended above the gound, and some (the kitchen) was to be partly below the ground.

New House in Ferring

Here you see a photo of a derelict house in Ferring, which had some serious structural defects and had to be demolished. We were approached by the developer who bought the site and asked to design a new house for the site which would appeal to a young family. We designed the house, obtained planning permission and approval under the Building Regulations, and produced the image you see on the right to enable the developer to market the house ‘off-plan’.

Extension and Refurbishment in Worthing

This is an accurate, 3-D perspctive image that we produced as part of an extension and refurbishment project, to enable the client to visualise how the house would look once extended and altered. The original house was a fairly simple bungalow with a large rear garden, but with little appeal and an awkward layout from the rear. Using the client’s requirements for lifestyle and future use of the house, we produced a design which made a huge difference to how the house could be used, and a real improvement to the view from the garden.

House Extension in West Chiltington

Here are ‘before and after’ pictures of a chalet bungalow in West Chiltington which was purchased by a property developer. We were instructed to produce designs and apply for planning permission to extend and transform the house. Planning was granted without difficulty and work got underway. The finished house is more than double the size of the old house, with a luxurious interior and generously proportioned rooms. Also part of the project was a detached triple garage.

Two-Storey Extension in Sompting

Here are ‘before and after’ pictures of a house in Sompting, Lancing where the owner wanted to enlarge their kitchen, add two new bedrooms / study, en-suite bathroom, utility room and cloakroom. We designed the extensions and alterations, obtained planning permission and approval under the Building Regulations, and handed it all over for the owner to obtain quotes and instruct their builder. The result makes a huge difference to the house both internally and externally.

Cottage Extension and Renovation

Here are ‘before and after’ pictures of a small thatched cottage in West Chiltington which was purchased by a property developer with a view to extending and renovating it. We were asked to advise on what could be done in order to maximise value and appeal, and shortly after received an instruction to produce designs and obtain planning permission. Planning permission was granted, work got underway and shortly after completion the house was snapped up.
